A European War .Prbbablel
The Paris Constitutiotinel of the sixth instant
Says, in reference to a restricted, congress proposed by Engla'Ad, "France will bfrer no impediments to the plan, but etfery day shows its ineffl
bacy."
-The Berlin correspondence of The London
Times of January fourth says : '"Lord Wodehouse
is coming back, tbe main object of his mission ua-
accotoplished; and the state of affairs between
Germany and Denmark looks more and more unsatisfactory. Has diplomacy any more resources
ih reserve 1 If not, there seems some chance of a
winter campaign in Schleswig."
That journal under date the sixth of January,
has a column leader on this question, commencing
thus: "At the present time the fJuchy af Holstein
may be considered to have passed entirely out of
the hands of the Danes," and concluding with the
hope that Prussia will not be content to trouble
the waters that the French ruler may fish, and adds
that when it is proved that the advance of German
aggression will really lead to a war on the Schleswig
frontier, the western powers will be uuited to prevent euch a calamity. This signficant adritission
by the great indicator of tHe way the wind is to
blow, is almost decisive that a general war in
Europe Cannot well be staved off by diplomatic finesse, and when it becomes essential to Denmark's
safety. Englang will send fleets witb land forces
for her preservation. Louis Napoleon undoubtedly foresaw this result, and therefore pressed his pet
scheme to preserve his own empire from a terrible
Conflict, which certainly would be alike costly ahd
embarrasBingj while his conquest of Mexico remains unaccomplished, and demands all the men
ftod money he can well spare. It behoves us to
consider what the efiect of a general Huropean war
upon our existing struggle with the South. Should
France and England come into bloody collision by
land and sea both parties will, of course, assume
new attitudes in regard to common carriers and
tbe Construction of neutrality laws. Tbe effect
upou our commerce now cairied on chiefly under
neutral flags will be immediate and serious, If not
destructive. Every arrival from Europe of later
intelligence Will now be eagerly scanned in reference to probabilities of peace or war—fraught as
these alternatives must be to all commercial and
finanoial interests here!—with tnb deepest effect.
The London Times declares if Prussia will do her
duty, this useless war may be avoided. So on
news from Berlin will all eyes fasten until she decides for peace or war.—N. Y. News.
"The Strong Bond."—Another SEcfttfr PoiAri-
Cjal Organization,—The Chronicle ol this morning
says :
"Dr. John Trimble, jr., of Chicago, General Secretary of the Strong Bond, arrived in town this
morning on a mission of conference to the leaders
of tbat organization. We understa'na the main topic of tbe conference to be the coming presidential
aanvas."
Most ofour readers are probable unaware of the
existence of a new Abolition" secret organization
having the title of "The Strong Bond." We had
heard of it before, but now we have the fact of its
being officially announced. We have a "Strong
Bc%d" society in our midst, with all its secrets
and oaths, and spies and informers, casting shortlived old Enow Nothingism entirely in the shade.
Tee General Secretary of fhe National Strong
Bond is in this eity, now incoherence with the secret leaders, endeavoring to arrange place'to perpetuate tbe Abolmon dynasty which now rules the
land with a rod of iron. This "Stronjf Witod-' is
an auxiliary to the bayonet—its strength will consist in robbing fhe peop'le of their rights.— Con*
stitutiona'l Union.
The PsfffisiDENT Sats—'-'war should not be.loolS,
ec( upon as au alarming evil by any means." The
Sold joker oSbes ntii yet realize that any "body is
hurt." It may be true that war is not an evil te
'Abolition cut-throats and thiovef, anymore than
Ipluhder may be considered an evil to the freebooter. But the wise king Louis the Eleventh, of
France, had a di^erent opinion of war. He said :
"War is th'e greatest conceivable scourge of a nation. It brings with itself dangers and evils, the
destruction of the country, of its inhabitants, and
»f its wealth, which no time can repair." That is
the opinion of an enlightened, humane man, and
Christian. The other is the opinion of an ignorant, unfeeling, intolerant infidel, who looks upon
negroes as his brethern, and upon white men with
the eye of distrust and hatel—N. Y. Day Book
Principle is a pasBion for truth. Pity so few
possess it.
Tbe New Article or War—How It ls Eutorced
In Kentucky.
It will be seen from our Frankfort letter that
Adjutant General Thomas disowns the autboriza-
tion of negro recruiting in Kentucky, and expresses the opinion that tbe measure is not authorized
by the Secretary of War. We hope the Adjutant
General is correct in his opinion ; but tbe letters
we publish make us fear that he is not. We presume there can be no doubt, at all events, tbat in
the First District negro recruiting is goiog forward, whether authorized or unauthorized by the
Secretary of War. We respeoVlully commend the
letter from Pa'ducah to tbe attention of his Excellency tbe Governor :
Padocah, January 26,1864
To the Editors of the Louisville Journal—Dear
Sirs : There has lately arrived here one Richard
Cunningham, bringing a commission from the War
Department to recruit a regimeut ia this district
of twelve hundred negroes. He has already enlisted quite a number of slaves, against the consent ot their masters and against their owu consent
—his practice being to take them from their beds
at night, and, after carrying them to camp, to tell
them that if they go into (he Bervice they will receive $300 as bounty and freedom for themselves
tbeir wives and children ; and if they do not volunteer they will be forced to enlist.
The loyal men of the district, not Abolitionistl,
but the Journals type of loyalty, feeling this species of recruiting to be a gross outrage upon their i
rights, requested Dr. Duke, recently our State Senator, to repair to Frankfort and present the Subject to the attention os his Excellency, Governor
Bramlette, thinking he thight be able to obtain a
remedy for future grievances of this kind, if not
redress for what has already occurred. As no secret was made ofthe intention ts send a messenger
to the Governor, it reached tbe ears of the negro-
recniiting Colonel Cunningham, who, meeting Dr.
Duke upon the street, told him that if he dared to
go to Frankfort on such a mission he would rJtit
a ball and chain upon him, and upon each of the
interested persons who subscribed to pay the et
penses of the trip. In this manher the ' effort of
the people to present a respectful complaint and
petition to the Executive of their Commonwealth
has been temporarily frustrated. For their consolation, they are told by this recruitingJColonel
that When he was in Washington, seeking his oom.
mission, our Goveenor had two agents there remonstrating agaiust its iasual, and that Lucien
Anderoon, who, as your excellent paper haa shown,
treacherously misrepresents this distriot in Congress, demanded ihe commission as a favor to himself and his constituents, whereupon it was immediately issued ; and that, consequently, it
would be useless to complain to the Governor, for
he could donothing. This, of course, remains to
be Been.
Hopkin&ville (Ky.,) January 23d.
To the Editors of the Louisville Journal :
Though this letter is wiitten iii plain style, I hope
it may deserve an insertion in your most excellent
paper. I want to make it known through your
columns how the loyalty of Christian and Todd
counties ia respected.
There is a nest of accursed Abolitionists at
Clarksville (Tenn..) who are likely to ruin our
counties. They swear every negro into the service who will leave their masters aud join them,
and then send them bacS to recniit other rfegroes
and urge tbem to bring every mule aod horse they
can steal. Now in the name of all tbat is loyal,
is this respecting our loyalty.
Negroes are leaving our county nightly by hundreds. Our largest slaveholder (who is truly a
loyal man) had fony-three to leave in one night,
who left their wivea and children at home, but
took witb them about twenty-five mules. The leri-
ient slaveholder sent alter his mules (and, by, the
by, found two of them in a cellar,) and now has to
feed the negro women and children. Where are
we drifting? The good feeling for the Administration is growing weaker e+ery day. Is Kentucky,
who, I- am proud to say, has furnished men (not by
conscription) and money for the suppression of this
unholy rebellion, to be treated in this manner &nf
longer? God forbjd. I Understand that o.Ur Strfte
Senator, Colonel Ben. BristoW, went to Washington to consult the President about Oiir slaves being
taken from us, and was told th'atoUr slaves couldn't
be returned, but we would get credit tor them &
the next draft! —Louisville fournal.
Is It Fanaticism or Cowardice T
The World says that "the country, is so giveij
over to fanaticism, that only the discipline of
suffering Is like}y'to restore it to reason.',' Thero
is a conbide'rable degree of honest fanaticism, |^>
doubt among the Republicans', for wtyhh we ara
willing to make all due allowance, but Democrats
are supposed to be free from the Abolition delusion. There are not one-third of the northern
people Abolitionists. Why, then, do we witness
the present anomalous condition of affairs? Why
do we see men calling themselves Democrats, supporting an Abolition President in bis Abolitjou
policy ? Depend upon it, the public can regard it
in no other light than base, subserviency to tho
power which the present Administration presumes
to wield. When the history of these times comes
to be written, we believe the cowardice of the De-
macratlo leaders will occupy as conspicuous a po"
sition on the pages of history as the fanaticism of
the republicans, TBf5 latter, boldly avowed the
intention of overturning ond .subverting the government of Washington and Madison, and Democrats not only looked on in cowardly aqd. abject
fear, But actblly aided them in their fell designs.
They saw a President wiejditig tbe greatest military power, that the world si,ei witnefeed, for tha
overthrow bf thh best government that ever existed—for,the destruction of society in half of tba
States of the federal Union—and yet strange to
say, they aided him in it. There will be lorg|ve-
ness in. the future foi- those who can plead honest
fanaticism, but God help those whose only excuse
Ib a cowardly subaiiss.idh ,to a policy that inflicted
a fatal stab upon the vital principles of free government.—-N. Y. Day Book. .

Would'Thet Like It ?—Supposa.a Deuiociatic
Administration, says the Illinois Journal, should
demand from! New England that she furnish men
and money to prosecute a war for the purpose of
establishing and perpetuating slavery in all the
States aud Territories. Does any one believe her
loyalty to the Government would impel her to
yield such support ? Mr. Lincoln aod his Jacobin
advisers have no more right to demand of Democrats a cheerful support of an avowed abolition
war. The pretenoe that such a war la necessary
to the success of our cause is no more true iu the
one case than it would be in the other. And it
comes with a bad grace from the organs of the'
Abolition party, considering the antecedents Of
President Lincoln, to call all those opposed to the
wair "traitors." He opposed tbe war with Mexico
and according to their logic, mifHi be a vile traitor. Was he loyal to the Government thea{—
Has he not been, and a vast majority of those who
Bupporjs him, disloyal to every Democratic govern;
ment?
If Wow't do.—To take off the odium from Lincoln,
the Abolitionist say that Gen. McClellan was removed at the instance of Halleck, by Stanton, who
are both Democrats; and that he was suoceeded by
Burnside aud Hooker, also Democrats. That's all
bosh." These men might bave been Democrats
when Democracy was triumphant, but they are
Abolitionists now. The Devil was once an Angel
— but he too became Black through villainous
ambition.
The vilest despotism on the face of the earth,
says the Court Journal, with the exoeption of the
Northern States ot America, ie that of Russia.

Gold for O/Hce-liolders—Greenbacks for tha

i) -,- - 1 r$.,'-|v
When a Democratic Administration wa,B enforcing
specie payments by tte Government, y its enemies
set up the outcry of "gold for offfca-holders—rags.
for the people." fhe real object of the Democracy,
was to securq a gold currency ior the people and
tbey succeeded. ,
Now, the Lincolri AdismnWfration pays its officialSi
or a portion of them, in golq, while it floods tha
currency with depreciated greenbacks for the

enough towards Richmond. Three Generals have.

which has since passed, who did advance rapidly
towards the recusant city, but Who came back as

A European War .Prbbablel
The Paris Constitutiotinel of the sixth instant
Says, in reference to a restricted, congress proposed by Engla'Ad, "France will bfrer no impediments to the plan, but etfery day shows its ineffl
bacy."
-The Berlin correspondence of The London
Times of January fourth says : '"Lord Wodehouse
is coming back, tbe main object of his mission ua-
accotoplished; and the state of affairs between
Germany and Denmark looks more and more unsatisfactory. Has diplomacy any more resources
ih reserve 1 If not, there seems some chance of a
winter campaign in Schleswig."
That journal under date the sixth of January,
has a column leader on this question, commencing
thus: "At the present time the fJuchy af Holstein
may be considered to have passed entirely out of
the hands of the Danes," and concluding with the
hope that Prussia will not be content to trouble
the waters that the French ruler may fish, and adds
that when it is proved that the advance of German
aggression will really lead to a war on the Schleswig
frontier, the western powers will be uuited to prevent euch a calamity. This signficant adritission
by the great indicator of tHe way the wind is to
blow, is almost decisive that a general war in
Europe Cannot well be staved off by diplomatic finesse, and when it becomes essential to Denmark's
safety. Englang will send fleets witb land forces
for her preservation. Louis Napoleon undoubtedly foresaw this result, and therefore pressed his pet
scheme to preserve his own empire from a terrible
Conflict, which certainly would be alike costly ahd
embarrasBingj while his conquest of Mexico remains unaccomplished, and demands all the men
ftod money he can well spare. It behoves us to
consider what the efiect of a general Huropean war
upon our existing struggle with the South. Should
France and England come into bloody collision by
land and sea both parties will, of course, assume
new attitudes in regard to common carriers and
tbe Construction of neutrality laws. Tbe effect
upou our commerce now cairied on chiefly under
neutral flags will be immediate and serious, If not
destructive. Every arrival from Europe of later
intelligence Will now be eagerly scanned in reference to probabilities of peace or war—fraught as
these alternatives must be to all commercial and
finanoial interests here!—with tnb deepest effect.
The London Times declares if Prussia will do her
duty, this useless war may be avoided. So on
news from Berlin will all eyes fasten until she decides for peace or war.—N. Y. News.
"The Strong Bond."—Another SEcfttfr PoiAri-
Cjal Organization,—The Chronicle ol this morning
says :
"Dr. John Trimble, jr., of Chicago, General Secretary of the Strong Bond, arrived in town this
morning on a mission of conference to the leaders
of tbat organization. We understa'na the main topic of tbe conference to be the coming presidential
aanvas."
Most ofour readers are probable unaware of the
existence of a new Abolition" secret organization
having the title of "The Strong Bond." We had
heard of it before, but now we have the fact of its
being officially announced. We have a "Strong
Bc%d" society in our midst, with all its secrets
and oaths, and spies and informers, casting shortlived old Enow Nothingism entirely in the shade.
Tee General Secretary of fhe National Strong
Bond is in this eity, now incoherence with the secret leaders, endeavoring to arrange place'to perpetuate tbe Abolmon dynasty which now rules the
land with a rod of iron. This "Stronjf Witod-' is
an auxiliary to the bayonet—its strength will consist in robbing fhe peop'le of their rights.— Con*
stitutiona'l Union.
The PsfffisiDENT Sats—'-'war should not be.loolS,
ec( upon as au alarming evil by any means." The
Sold joker oSbes ntii yet realize that any "body is
hurt." It may be true that war is not an evil te
'Abolition cut-throats and thiovef, anymore than
Ipluhder may be considered an evil to the freebooter. But the wise king Louis the Eleventh, of
France, had a di^erent opinion of war. He said :
"War is th'e greatest conceivable scourge of a nation. It brings with itself dangers and evils, the
destruction of the country, of its inhabitants, and
»f its wealth, which no time can repair." That is
the opinion of an enlightened, humane man, and
Christian. The other is the opinion of an ignorant, unfeeling, intolerant infidel, who looks upon
negroes as his brethern, and upon white men with
the eye of distrust and hatel—N. Y. Day Book
Principle is a pasBion for truth. Pity so few
possess it.
Tbe New Article or War—How It ls Eutorced
In Kentucky.
It will be seen from our Frankfort letter that
Adjutant General Thomas disowns the autboriza-
tion of negro recruiting in Kentucky, and expresses the opinion that tbe measure is not authorized
by the Secretary of War. We hope the Adjutant
General is correct in his opinion ; but tbe letters
we publish make us fear that he is not. We presume there can be no doubt, at all events, tbat in
the First District negro recruiting is goiog forward, whether authorized or unauthorized by the
Secretary of War. We respeoVlully commend the
letter from Pa'ducah to tbe attention of his Excellency tbe Governor :
Padocah, January 26,1864
To the Editors of the Louisville Journal—Dear
Sirs : There has lately arrived here one Richard
Cunningham, bringing a commission from the War
Department to recruit a regimeut ia this district
of twelve hundred negroes. He has already enlisted quite a number of slaves, against the consent ot their masters and against their owu consent
—his practice being to take them from their beds
at night, and, after carrying them to camp, to tell
them that if they go into (he Bervice they will receive $300 as bounty and freedom for themselves
tbeir wives and children ; and if they do not volunteer they will be forced to enlist.
The loyal men of the district, not Abolitionistl,
but the Journals type of loyalty, feeling this species of recruiting to be a gross outrage upon their i
rights, requested Dr. Duke, recently our State Senator, to repair to Frankfort and present the Subject to the attention os his Excellency, Governor
Bramlette, thinking he thight be able to obtain a
remedy for future grievances of this kind, if not
redress for what has already occurred. As no secret was made ofthe intention ts send a messenger
to the Governor, it reached tbe ears of the negro-
recniiting Colonel Cunningham, who, meeting Dr.
Duke upon the street, told him that if he dared to
go to Frankfort on such a mission he would rJtit
a ball and chain upon him, and upon each of the
interested persons who subscribed to pay the et
penses of the trip. In this manher the ' effort of
the people to present a respectful complaint and
petition to the Executive of their Commonwealth
has been temporarily frustrated. For their consolation, they are told by this recruitingJColonel
that When he was in Washington, seeking his oom.
mission, our Goveenor had two agents there remonstrating agaiust its iasual, and that Lucien
Anderoon, who, as your excellent paper haa shown,
treacherously misrepresents this distriot in Congress, demanded ihe commission as a favor to himself and his constituents, whereupon it was immediately issued ; and that, consequently, it
would be useless to complain to the Governor, for
he could donothing. This, of course, remains to
be Been.
Hopkin&ville (Ky.,) January 23d.
To the Editors of the Louisville Journal :
Though this letter is wiitten iii plain style, I hope
it may deserve an insertion in your most excellent
paper. I want to make it known through your
columns how the loyalty of Christian and Todd
counties ia respected.
There is a nest of accursed Abolitionists at
Clarksville (Tenn..) who are likely to ruin our
counties. They swear every negro into the service who will leave their masters aud join them,
and then send them bacS to recniit other rfegroes
and urge tbem to bring every mule aod horse they
can steal. Now in the name of all tbat is loyal,
is this respecting our loyalty.
Negroes are leaving our county nightly by hundreds. Our largest slaveholder (who is truly a
loyal man) had fony-three to leave in one night,
who left their wivea and children at home, but
took witb them about twenty-five mules. The leri-
ient slaveholder sent alter his mules (and, by, the
by, found two of them in a cellar,) and now has to
feed the negro women and children. Where are
we drifting? The good feeling for the Administration is growing weaker e+ery day. Is Kentucky,
who, I- am proud to say, has furnished men (not by
conscription) and money for the suppression of this
unholy rebellion, to be treated in this manner &nf
longer? God forbjd. I Understand that o.Ur Strfte
Senator, Colonel Ben. BristoW, went to Washington to consult the President about Oiir slaves being
taken from us, and was told th'atoUr slaves couldn't
be returned, but we would get credit tor them &
the next draft! —Louisville fournal.
Is It Fanaticism or Cowardice T
The World says that "the country, is so giveij
over to fanaticism, that only the discipline of
suffering Is like}y'to restore it to reason.',' Thero
is a conbide'rable degree of honest fanaticism, |^>
doubt among the Republicans', for wtyhh we ara
willing to make all due allowance, but Democrats
are supposed to be free from the Abolition delusion. There are not one-third of the northern
people Abolitionists. Why, then, do we witness
the present anomalous condition of affairs? Why
do we see men calling themselves Democrats, supporting an Abolition President in bis Abolitjou
policy ? Depend upon it, the public can regard it
in no other light than base, subserviency to tho
power which the present Administration presumes
to wield. When the history of these times comes
to be written, we believe the cowardice of the De-
macratlo leaders will occupy as conspicuous a po"
sition on the pages of history as the fanaticism of
the republicans, TBf5 latter, boldly avowed the
intention of overturning ond .subverting the government of Washington and Madison, and Democrats not only looked on in cowardly aqd. abject
fear, But actblly aided them in their fell designs.
They saw a President wiejditig tbe greatest military power, that the world si,ei witnefeed, for tha
overthrow bf thh best government that ever existed—for,the destruction of society in half of tba
States of the federal Union—and yet strange to
say, they aided him in it. There will be lorg|ve-
ness in. the future foi- those who can plead honest
fanaticism, but God help those whose only excuse
Ib a cowardly subaiiss.idh ,to a policy that inflicted
a fatal stab upon the vital principles of free government.—-N. Y. Day Book. .

Would'Thet Like It ?—Supposa.a Deuiociatic
Administration, says the Illinois Journal, should
demand from! New England that she furnish men
and money to prosecute a war for the purpose of
establishing and perpetuating slavery in all the
States aud Territories. Does any one believe her
loyalty to the Government would impel her to
yield such support ? Mr. Lincoln aod his Jacobin
advisers have no more right to demand of Democrats a cheerful support of an avowed abolition
war. The pretenoe that such a war la necessary
to the success of our cause is no more true iu the
one case than it would be in the other. And it
comes with a bad grace from the organs of the'
Abolition party, considering the antecedents Of
President Lincoln, to call all those opposed to the
wair "traitors." He opposed tbe war with Mexico
and according to their logic, mifHi be a vile traitor. Was he loyal to the Government thea{—
Has he not been, and a vast majority of those who
Bupporjs him, disloyal to every Democratic govern;
ment?
If Wow't do.—To take off the odium from Lincoln,
the Abolitionist say that Gen. McClellan was removed at the instance of Halleck, by Stanton, who
are both Democrats; and that he was suoceeded by
Burnside aud Hooker, also Democrats. That's all
bosh." These men might bave been Democrats
when Democracy was triumphant, but they are
Abolitionists now. The Devil was once an Angel
— but he too became Black through villainous
ambition.
The vilest despotism on the face of the earth,
says the Court Journal, with the exoeption of the
Northern States ot America, ie that of Russia.

When a Democratic Administration wa,B enforcing

set up the outcry of "gold for offfca-holders—rags.
for the people." fhe real object of the Democracy,
was to securq a gold currency ior the people and
tbey succeeded. ,

currency with depreciated greenbacks for the
